Argue.

2 is objectively better, sorry.

3 is objectively better, sorry.

They're both good. I miss ascetics though.

Saving your ascetics to unlock specific boss weapons felt so good.

>>383077534
DaS2 has horrible enemies in general.

Why does reddit hate DS2 so much? one e-celeb sperged out. So is that enough for them?

>>383077612
DaS3 has the worst enemy variety in the soulsborne series.

But you're gonna sit here and tell me DaS2 didn't have a lot knights. I stopped reading at there, opinion discarded.
DaS1>DaS3>DaS2

This is bait.

DaS3 easily has the best enemy variety in the series.

>>383077872
Let me fix that.

Today I will tell them that dark souls 2 is still shit

>>383077534
The only enemies in DaS1 that I remember not being zombies or knights were the ents, snakemen, and bat demons.

Demon's souls and Dark souls are pretty fucking thight 10/10 games.

Bloodborne added intresting new mechanics to the souls series and took the souls series in a new direction. Refreshing and fun.

dark souls 2 added more weight to the combat but took a few steps back almost in every single way. Also sound desing is fucking shit. Pretty good game though.

Dark souls 3 is linear as fuck and has floaty combat which does not blend in with the game well. Looks kinda pretty but world desing is pretty bad to be honest.

>>383076694

They were both fun, and the difference really came down to the tempo for me.

The combat in 2 felt clunkier, where 3 was more fast and fluid, but that fluidity felt wasted because of so much forced dodging.

2 felt more "fair," yet 3 was still easier overall.

3 had the graphics, hands down, yet 2 had a more fulfilling atmosphere.

In conclusion, I wish they'd make more of these games instead of abandoning the series over some artistic faggot pretenses.

Both fun, neither are as good as the first or Bloodborne (I only played Demon's once at a friends so I can't really judge it).

The big problem they both have is all the wanking over the first game. Personally I think 2 is worse for it though shit like the Gargoyles and Ornstein showing up for no real reason other than "hey remember Dark Souls". Sure 3 had a lot more nods and references to 1 but it felt more like they were building on the lore rather than just referencing it in most cases.

DS1
>nostalgia fags that dont realise that their game is shit after anor londo
DS2
>game isn't anything special but is ok throughout the whole game with lots of build variety
DS3
>cool looking weapons and moves but every weapon is the same shit with a different skin and a move gimmick that nobody uses
DES
>pure nostalgia

>>383079334
>2 felt more "fair"
It had the most broken hitboxes out of all the games and tied i-frames to agility, strong enemies were placed in groups and they all had their speed massively increased for some reason so you can just run past them like in the other games, enemies had a magnets on their weapons and could change their direction mid swing. I can agree with some of the other points but I fail to see how it is more fair.

>>383080031
Demon's Souls still has the best level design of any of the games, I can't believe I let people meme me into thinking it was outdated when Latria is literally the best experience I had in the series while playing them all for the first time this year.

Your post is about PvP shit though so you probably don't care for exploration.

>>383076694
I've only ever played 3. Its pretty good so far. Ill probably get Bloodborne later.

Fuck off faggots I'm not buying another console or gaming on my work PC to play the first games.

>dark souls 2 added more weight to the combat

what?

Playing DS 3 for the first time after replaying 2 with SoTFS, and controling 3 is like a dream in comparison. In a lot of aspects of 2 is better, like level variety and weapon/armor aesthetic, but when it comes down to the core game mechanics and enemy encounters, 3 is far superior. From what I've played, 3 really just feels like the team apologizing for 2 and making their own game with the same concept, and while it's fun, I would rather they would try something different like they did with previous games, and for that I can respect the spirit behind 2 and it's directors. Here's hoping they innovate more with their next game

>>383080423
des was literally linear level design.

>>383080743
You have 5 different routes open to you.

Also every level in every game in the series is linear. Yes you can find a shortcut to a different place in DaS, but when you actually have to explore or progress you're following one path.

Also DeS breaks the levels up with the Archstone fogs, you have to go to a different place when you get to 1-3 for example. The levels also feel bigger because you're exploring the same theme across 5 bonfires instead of just warping from swamp to lava land to castle within 5 minutes of each other like on DaS1.

>>383077829
Nope, DaS3 has the worst enemy variety.

>>383077314
Fume knight was a retarded turd. The slowshit attack was annoying and dumb, and once you figured how to run to his butt it was piss easy.

Burst Ivory king is the best bossfight i've had, too bad no one told me i had to actually go look for the damn knights to make the fight balanced before i went to the stage 15 times and ruined the thematic entrance for me.

There's something about Nameless king, he didn't feel that challenging, perhaps it's the dumb sword making more damage than it should for artificial difficulty, otherwise his moveset is fun.

The greatest boss so far has been the Demon Prince, that's intense shit.

However DS2 is the better game, the world feels bigger than in DS3, Yhorm literally lives in Aldrich's basement, and the abyss watchers are at his doorstep. Too cluttered to have any sense of adventure. Dragonshit peak felt good because it was a whole area apart, same for the ringed city.

Also, Seek the fallen kings sounds better than bring the pussies to light the fire.

DaS 2 had horrible boss variety.
